‘No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law’
Oh, I get it! It’s funny because it’s not true! Ha ha!
Sure. Now let’s stop saying the thing and actually do the thing.
Have these experts not heard of America?
No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law
Aww, I too enjoy some wholesome fiction.
It’s not that I’m not grateful that the UN has published something about this, but when there are 3 separate caveats in the first sentence that “it’s totally not us saying this officially!”, it emphasizes how useless the UN is at dealing with its blessed founding member. Really disappointing while being in no way surprising.
I can’t remember where I found it, but there’s a paper or book somewhere that basically states that, in systems of oppression, exceptions to the law for a select elite are not only common, but fundamental to how systems of oppression work.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic, thoughtless talking points we so often criticize the right for.
Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You’ve clearly nailed it.
Oh yes, the famous bastions of conservatism surrounding Epstein, like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Woody Allen!
The evidence says otherwise but okay…
Well, you say that…
I really hope thats true, because so far, it hasn’t been.
Unless the law never tries.
SCOTUS says one person is above all laws.
Oh my god I wish that actually becomes true.
In a just world, most of this administration would be behind bars. Same with fElon and Bannon and Stone and other people not necessarily in the administration.
